Introduction
History
TPEG technology was originally proposed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) Broadcast
Management Committee, who established the B/TPEG project group in the autumn of 1997 with a brief
to develop, as soon as possible, a new protocol for broadcasting traffic and travel-related information
in the multimedia environment. TPEG technology, its applications and service features were designed
to enable travel-related messages to be coded, decoded, filtered and understood by humans (visually
and/or audibly in the user’s language) and by agent systems. Originally, a byte-oriented data stream
format, which can be carried on almost any digital bearer with an appropriate adaptation layer, was
developed. Hierarchically structured TPEG messages from service providers to end-users were
designed to transfer information from the service provider database to an end-user’s equipment.
One year later in December 1998, the B/TPEG group produced its first EBU specifications. Two
documents were released. Part 2 (TPEG-SSF, which became ISO/TS 18234-2) described the Syntax,
Semantics and Framing structure, which was used for all TPEG applications. Meanwhile, Part 4 (TPEG-
RTM, which became ISO/TS 18234-4) described the first application, for Road Traffic Messages.
Subsequently in March 1999, CEN TC 278, in conjunction with ISO/TC 204, established a group
comprising members of the former EBU B/TPEG and this working group continued development work.
Further parts were developed to make the initial set of four parts, enabling the implementation of a
consistent service. Part 3 (TPEG-SNI, ISO/TS 18234-3) described the Service and Network Information
Application, used by all service implementations to ensure appropriate referencing from one service
source to another.
Part 1 (TPEG-INV, ISO/TS 18234-1) completed the series by describing the other parts and their
relationship; it also contained the application IDs used within the other parts. Additionally, Part 5, the
Public Transport Information Application (TPEG-PTI, ISO/TS 18234-5), was developed. The so-called
TPEG-LOC location referencing method, which enabled both map-based TPEG-decoders and non-map-
based ones to deliver either map-based location referencing or human readable text information, was
issued as ISO/TS 18234-6 to be used in association with the other applications parts of the ISO/TS 18234
series to provide location referencing.
The ISO/TS 18234 series has become known as TPEG Generation 1.
TPEG Generation 2
When the Traveller Information Services Association (TISA), derived from former Forums, was
inaugurated in December 2007 TPEG development was taken over by TISA and continued in the TPEG
Applications Working Group.
It was about this time that the (then) new Unified Modelling Language (UML) was seen as having major
advantages for the development of new TPEG Applications in communities who would not necessarily
have binary physical format skills required to extend the original TPEG TS work. It was also realized
that the XML format for TPEG described within the ISO/TS 24530 series (now superseded) had a greater
significance than previously foreseen; especially in the content-generation segment and that keeping
two physical formats in synchronism, in different standards series, would be rather difficult.
As a result, TISA set about the development of a new TPEG structure that would be UML based, this has
subsequently become known as TPEG Generation 2.
TPEG2 is embodied in the ISO/TS 21219 series and it comprises many parts that cover introduction,
rules, toolkit and application components. TPEG2 is built around UML modelling and has a core of rules
that contain the modelling strategy covered in Parts 2, 3, 4 and the conversion to two current physical
formats: binary and XML; others could be added in the future. TISA uses an automated tool to convert
from the agreed UML model XMI file directly into an MS Word document file, to minimize drafting
errors, that forms the Annex for each physical format.

ISO/TS 21219-9:2016(E)
TPEG2 has a three container conceptual structure: Message Management (Part 6), Application (many
Parts) and Location Referencing (Part 7). This structure has flexible capability and can accommodate
many differing use cases that have been proposed within the TTI sector and wider for hierarchical
message content.
TPEG2 also has many location referencing options as required by the service provider community, any
of which may be delivered by vectoring data included in the Location Referencing Container.
The following classification provides a helpful grouping of the different TPEG2 parts according to their
intended purpose:
— Toolkit parts: TPEG2-INV (part 1), TPEG2-UML (part 2), TPEG2-UBCR (part 3), TPEG2-
UXCR (part 4), TPEG2-SFW (part 5), TPEG2-MMC (part 6), TPEG2-LRC (part 7);
— Special applications: TPEG2-SNI (part 9), TPEG2-CAI (part 10);
— Location referencing: TPEG2-ULR (part 11), TPEG2-ETL (part 20), TPEG2-GLR (part 21), TPEG2-
OLR (part 22);
— Applications: TPEG2-PKI (part 14), TPEG2-TEC (part 15), TPEG2-FPI (part 16), TPEG2-
TFP (part 18), TPEG2-WEA (part 19), TPEG2-RMR (part 23).
TPEG2 has been developed to be broadly (but not totally) backward compatible with TPEG1 to assist
in transitions from earlier implementations, while not hindering the TPEG2 innovative approach and
being able to support many new features, such as dealing with applications having both long-term,
unchanging content and highly dynamic content, such as Parking Information.
This Technical Specification is based on the TISA specification technical/editorial version reference:
SP13006/3.2/001
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (and/or) International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this Technical

Introduction
History
TPEG technology was originally proposed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) Broadcast
Management Committee, who established the B/TPEG project group in the autumn of 1997 with a brief
to develop, as soon as possible, a new protocol for broadcasting traffic and travel-related information
in the multimedia environment. TPEG technology, its applications and service features were designed
to enable travel-related messages to be coded, decoded, filtered and understood by humans (visually
and/or audibly in the user’s language) and by agent systems. Originally, a byte-oriented data stream
format, which can be carried on almost any digital bearer with an appropriate adaptation layer, was
developed. Hierarchically structured TPEG messages from service providers to end-users were
designed to transfer information from the service provider database to an end-user’s equipment.
One year later in December 1998, the B/TPEG group produced its first EBU specifications. Two
documents were released. Part 2 (TPEG-SSF, which became ISO/TS 18234-2) described the Syntax,
Semantics and Framing structure, which was used for all TPEG applications. Meanwhile, Part 4 (TPEG-
RTM, which became ISO/TS 18234-4) described the first application, for Road Traffic Messages.
Subsequently in March 1999, CEN TC 278, in conjunction with ISO/TC 204, established a group
comprising members of the former EBU B/TPEG and this working group continued development work.
Further parts were developed to make the initial set of four parts, enabling the implementation of a
consistent service. Part 3 (TPEG-SNI, ISO/TS 18234-3) described the Service and Network Information
Application, used by all service implementations to ensure appropriate referencing from one service
source to another.
Part 1 (TPEG-INV, ISO/TS 18234-1) completed the series by describing the other parts and their
relationship; it also contained the application IDs used within the other parts. Additionally, Part 5, the
Public Transport Information Application (TPEG-PTI, ISO/TS 18234-5), was developed. The so-called
TPEG-LOC location referencing method, which enabled both map-based TPEG-decoders and non-map-
based ones to deliver either map-based location referencing or human readable text information, was
issued as ISO/TS 18234-6 to be used in association with the other applications parts of the ISO/TS 18234
series to provide location referencing.
The ISO/TS 18234 series has become known as TPEG Generation 1.
TPEG Generation 2
When the Traveller Information Services Association (TISA), derived from former Forums, was
inaugurated in December 2007 TPEG development was taken over by TISA and continued in the TPEG
Applications Working Group.
It was about this time that the (then) new Unified Modelling Language (UML) was seen as having major
advantages for the development of new TPEG Applications in communities who would not necessarily
have binary physical format skills required to extend the original TPEG TS work. It was also realized
that the XML format for TPEG described within the ISO/TS 24530 series (now superseded) had a greater
significance than previously foreseen; especially in the content-generation segment and that keeping
two physical formats in synchronism, in different standards series, would be rather difficult.
As a result, TISA set about the development of a new TPEG structure that would be UML based, this has
subsequently become known as TPEG Generation 2.
TPEG2 is embodied in the ISO/TS 21219 series and it comprises many parts that cover introduction,
rules, tool kit and application components. TPEG2 is built around UML modelling and has a core of rules
that contain the modelling strategy covered in Parts 2, 3, 4 and the conversion to two current physical
formats: binary and XML; others could be added in the future. TISA uses an automated tool to convert
from the agreed UML model XMI file directly into an MS Word document file, to minimize drafting
errors, that forms the Annex for each physical format.

ISO/TS 21219-9:2016(E)
TPEG2 has a three container conceptual structure: Message Management (Part 6), Application (many
Parts) and Location Referencing (Part 7). This structure has flexible capability and can accommodate
many differing use cases that have been proposed within the TTI sector and wider for hierarchical
message content.
TPEG2 also has many location referencing options as required by the service provider community, any
of which may be delivered by vectoring data included in the Location Referencing Container.
The following classification provides a helpful grouping of the different TPEG2 parts according to their
intended purpose:
— Toolkit parts: TPEG2-INV (part 1), TPEG2-UML (part 2), TPEG2-UBCR (part 3), TPEG2-
UXCR (part 4), TPEG2-SFW (part 5), TPEG2-MMC (part 6), TPEG2-LRC (part 7);
— Special applications: TPEG2-SNI (part 9), TPEG2-CAI (part 10);
— Location referencing: TPEG2-ULR (part 11), TPEG2-ETL (part 20), TPEG2-GLR (part 21), TPEG2-
OLR (part 22);
— Applications: TPEG2-PKI (part 14), TPEG2-TEC (part 15), TPEG2-FPI (part 16), TPEG2-
TFP (part 18), TPEG2-WEA (part 19), TPEG2-RMR (part 23).
TPEG2 has been developed to be broadly (but not totally) backward compatible with TPEG1 to assist
in transitions from earlier implementations, while not hindering the TPEG2 innovative approach and
being able to support many new features, such as dealing with applications having both long-term,
unchanging content and highly dynamic content, such as Parking Information.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 21219-9:2016(E)
Intelligent transport systems — Traffic and travel
information (TTI) via transport protocol experts group,
generation 2 (TPEG2) —
Part 9:
Service and network information (TPEG2-SNI)
1 Scope
This part of ISO/TS 21219 establishes the method of delivering service and network information within
a TPEG service. The TPEG-SNI application is designed to allow the efficient and language independent
delivery of information about the availability of the same service on another bearer channel or similar
service data from another service provider, directly from service provider to end-users.
NOTE A number of tables of information are described, which provide comprehensive options for describing
services, their timing, content, geographical coverage, etc. In all TPEG streams, it is mandatory to deliver to so-
called GST. Additionally, it is possible to signal linkage of content between different bearers and services.
